Barbara took over the USB drive. She looked at Maisie incredulously and said, “You…”Maisie sat in front of her and interrupted, “What can you do by yourself? I'm sure you know what's going on with your family, and you all are very vulnerable right now. Even if you want to explain, do you think those people will believe in you if you don't have any evidence?” Barbara frowned. After a long while, she sighed. “We still haven't found the cause of my uncle's death. My father has other things to attend to, so he can't do anything. Honestly, I really don't know what to do.”She lifted her head to look at Maisie, and her eyes were filled with gratitude. “I didn’t expect you to help me so much.”Maisie lowered her head. Honestly, she had no idea why she wanted to help Barbara as well. Perhaps it was because she could see her past self in Barbara.She smiled and replied, “We’re friends, right? When my friend is in trouble, I can't just sit back and do nothing.”Barbara was stunned. She p
Barbara thought of something before getting into the car, turned her head, and asserted herself to the camera. “I don’t know what moral high ground you people think you’re standing on when you’re pointing your fingers at me. I seemingly look like the victim of this incident, don’t I? Sure enough, the person who would have died back then would be me if I hadn’t resisted and fought back. I’ve done nothing wrong when all I did was fight for my life. I don’t need your sympathy, but at the same time, I won’t allow you people to slander me.”#Barbara Chase Accepted the Salvadores’ Appeal# appeared on every single trending article list on the Internet, and all photos of the scene were posted on the Internet by reporters.This time around, two groups of netizens with different points of view were formed on the Internet, and they debated and quarreled. Most women spoke up for Barbara and also argued against the comments that some netizens posted, saying that “that’s the outcome that those wom
Barbara’s lawyer chuckled. “The family members of the offenders were also present when the verdict was being passed. Since the verdict didn’t sit well with the family members of the offenders, why has it been delayed until today?”Mrs. Salvadore looked at the judge. “We were present at the time, but Ms. Chase’s family background isn’t something that ordinary families like us can compare to. We’ve always wanted to launch an appeal too, but Ms. Chase has changed her name and gone into hiding these few years. We couldn’t locate her, so how did you expect us to launch an appeal for the case?”The judge dropped the gavel, and the courtroom filled with constant chatter became dead silent in an instant. “Can I have the defendant explain this situation to me?”Barbara’s lawyer stood up and motioned for someone to hand him a laptop. “It just so happens that I have a piece of evidence of the incident in my possession. Why don’t we let the plaintiff take a look at it?”The staff put the lapto
#Seamless fruits won’t attract flies.##Sir, with all due respect, are you admitting that men are all flies? I bet flies are all feeling extremely aggrieved as your statement misrepresents them as a species.##I only heard that flies grow up eating sh*t. Does that mean that’s the reason you’re able to utter pure bullsh*t!?#At a hotpot restaurant…Barbara and Maisie were eating beef slices while scooping more out of the pot of spicy broth. Both of them were sweating buckets from the spices.Ryleigh scrolled through the comments on the Internet and laughed out loud. “Netizens nowadays have great potential when it comes to becoming stand-up comedians. Each one of them sounds more bizarre than the other. They would cling to their keyboard and come up with a thesis as if they were the embodiment of justice whenever something happened, but they’re also pros in playing dumb as soon as the victims of the incident manage to clarify themselves.”Maisie looked at her. “Aren’t you going to
Maisie looked at her. “So, are you suspecting something?”Barbara looked out the window. “I suspect that the owner of the Glitz Club may have something to do with the forces behind Peter Zhivkov, but I’m not sure if they’re on the same side.”Barbara added upon thinking of something, “The manager that received me on the night when Katrina offended Peter Zhivkov obviously hid something from me.”Later that night, at the Blue Bay villa…“Do you know who’s the owner behind the Glitz Club?”Nolan’s hand, which was flipped through the documents in front of him, stopped abruptly, and he looked up at Maisie, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and applying her night cream.“The owner of the Glitz Club?”Maisie looked at him through the mirror. “Yes.”Nolan narrowed his eyes. “Why would you want to know about him?”After Maisie was done, she walked over to Nolan and sat down. “I’m just curious. It’s said that the owner of the Glitz Club is a very enigmatic man. Barbara has
Michael had already stepped down from his position, and the person behind Peter held the same position as Michael. Mr. Boucher would be left in a dilemma once that person managed to get his own man to take over Michael’s position.When Michael was there, he was on the same side as Mr. Boucher. That was why the person behind Peter did not dare to act too blatantly.She then asked, “So what did Mr. Boucher want you to do?”Nolan rubbed the top of her head gently and with a profound smile. “What an entrepreneur is best at. As far as I know, Peter has a batch of red wine that urgently needs to be distributed on the black market. It’s said to be a batch of red wine, but in fact, it’s a batch of stolen goods.”Maisie was astonished. “So, Mr. Boucher wants you to purchase that batch of red wine?”Nolan leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Boucher doesn’t have any connections in the black market, but I happen to have a few of them. That’s why he needs me to join forces with him. Another require
When she got into the car, Saydie said, “Go straight to the black market. They might still be suspicious.”Gerald asked the driver to drive and got a call from Nolan. “Mr. Goldmann, yes, Mr. Zhivkov has taken the money, alright. Okay.”At Blackgold…Nolan put down his phone, and Quincy, who was standing at one side, asked, “Did Mr. Zhivkov suspect anything?”“He wouldn’t suspect Gerald, but he has to believe that no one is behind Gerald to be safe.”Quincy scoffed. “He’s actually quite smart.”Nolan chuckled. “If he weren’t smart, he wouldn’t be where he is today. This batch of goods had to change hands quickly because he didn’t want to be caught. The people behind him wouldn’t take such a risk.”Quincy understood. The Bouchers wanted the goods to get into an accident before it was pushed into the black market so that they could get Zhivkov and the people behind him. Once Zhivkov was investigated, the people behind him wouldn’t be able to get away either. Quincy remembered som
The manager raised his head. “I heard that Zhivkov did try to push a batch of wine. If he was rushing, there must be something going on.”The man’s hand that was playing with the rosary paused and spoke after a short while. “Observe quietly for any changes.”At Soul…Barbara went to see Maisie and told her she had visited the Glitz Club but didn’t find out about Katrina’s whereabouts.Maisie thought of something and said, “If they really have Katrina, what could they gain by controlling her?”Barbara shook her head. “I’m afraid it could be something bad for my father. Something has already happened to my uncle. I can’t sit and watch that happen to my dad too.”Maisie turned to face her. “I don’t think so. If they wanted to do anything to the Chases, they would take you instead of Katrina.”She paused. Maisie looked serious. “You don’t know why the owner of Glitz would help you, and he hasn’t shown his motive after such a long time. Even if they wanted to take you to threaten t
